Stranger things finally returned to Netflix on Friday. I watched it on Friday and Saturday, as I could not let it go after initially considering to dropout. As a reminder, in the first season Will disappeared and his mother and brother launched a desperate search to find him for they never accepted that decomposed body…

I started watching this new series on Netflix last night, and it seems very promising based on one episode I watched, as it has an entirely different story than what I normally watch. It also seems to have depth and focuses on some important social issues. Therefore, Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) is a federal agent…

Director: Jeremy Rush Rating: 3/5 Wheelman is a new film on Netflix. It is not the most brilliant film you will ever see, but it is not bad either. Nameless character known as the Wheelman (Frank Grillo) is driving bank robbers on their way to ‘work’. He needs to get the work done, as we learn,…

Director: Ben C. Lucas Rating: 4/5 OtherLife is a new film on Netflix, and if you thought you’ve seen it all when it comes to sci-fi, you didn’t. When the film first started I nearly freaked out when I saw it was Australian, because honestly, every film I ever watched that was made in Oz…

Director: Luis Prieto Rating: 3/5 Netflix’s new film portrays a struggle of a desperate mother to save her child kidnapped by an unknown couple. In that, diner waitress Karla Dyson (Halle Berry) speaks with her solicitor on the phone and gets shocked to find out that her wealthy husband and his new wealthy wife are applying…

Director: McG Rating: 3/5 The Babysitter is a new film on Netflix. I watched it on Saturday and I am still not sure how I feel about this film and what to say. Basically, Cole (Judah Lewis) is bullied and he gets super cool babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving) he really loves. She teaches him how to defend…

Oasis is a pilot episode of a potential series available to Amazon Prime subscribers. The series has a similar story to Netflix’s Terra Nova that also portrays future where the Earth is destroyed due to excessive use of resources and people look for options at other planets, or in other time. However, unlikely for Terra…

New season of Netflix’s Riverdale promises to unfold new events in a lively little town of Riverdale. While one would say it is too much that all this is happening in such a small place, the directors managed to overcome that issue by actually saying so in the series. Thus, when discussing who tried to…

I like business reality shows so I regularly watch Dragon’s Den and The Apprentice on BBC, and I absolutely love both shows. Therefore, when I saw that Netflix recently added Shark Tank, which is the American version of the British Dragon’s Den I immediately got interested. I was not disappointed because Shark’s Tank is brilliant….

This film has recently been added on Netflix, and as an owner of a bunch of super cute and super cuddly kitties I was obviously inclined to watch it. Needless to say, I freaked out and I haven’t stopped freaking out ever since. Amazon probably knows this the best because all my ‘subscribe and save’…

As a feminist, I always eagerly follow all elections where women compete for the highest positions, and I always follow media articles and public debates on feminism and women’s rights. I noticed recently that feminism is criticised as unnecessary in some public forums and the media, and nevertheless this discourse has also been used against…

If you enjoyed all Star Trek series before, you will love this one too. And, if you care about representation of minorities and women in the media and popular culture, you will love it even more. In Netflix’s version of Star Trek the story starts with a female captain Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) and female first…
